PADDY RYAH W
Question of Removal of Saloon
Before License Board This
, Afternoon ,
The question of whether Paddy Ry
an will be permitted to move his sa
loon across Alakea street from the
present location Is being threshed out
by the board of liquor license com
missioners at Jts meeting this after
noon, which began at 3:15 o'clock.
Liquor License Inspector Fennell has
been engaged during the last few
days in checking tip the list of signa
tures attached to Ryan's petition, to
determine whether a sufficient num.
ber of the signers are property-owners,
under the lnterprettaion of the
law as given, recently by the attorney
general.
.Many of the. signers are lessees of
property in the district The attorney
general has held that lessees are not
qualified, as property-holders unless
their leases are for a period of at
least a year. The result of Fennell's
investigation is to be disclosed at to
day's meeting of the board.
Recommendations to the governor
o a man for appointment to the va
cant place on the liquor license com
mission has been made, but no word
was received from the executive this
morning, and it is thought he has
been too busily engaged In other af
fairs, the last few days to give this
particular matter consideration.

Question but Thinks Com

It is likely that the present Terri
torial statutes may be interpreted to
give the board of harbor commission
ers power to regulate dockage charg
es at privately owned wharves in the
Islands. This is the opinion given off
hand this morning by Attorney Gen
eral Alex. Lindsay, on receipt of the
communication from Chairman Mar
ston Campbell, of the commission,
asking for an examination of. the
statute and a formal opinion on which
the board may act.
The verbal opinion came only at
"first blush," before he had time to
give the subject full consideration. .

COUNTY CHAIRMAN IS TORN
'TWEEN POLITICS AND TENNIS
What should a county chairman do
when confronting alternatives of duty
and pleasure and pleasure and duty?
That's the fix of B. von Damm, chair
man of the Republican county commit
tee. It's this way:
Some time ago the tennis cracks of
Monoa valley, where tennis cracks are
thick, went down to Ewa plantation
and hooked up with the sugar men.
The sugar men trimmed the townspeo
ple to a fare-you-well.
Thirsting for revenge, which is said
to be a real thirst .the Monoa tennis
experts have been practicing long and
hard. They challenged the Ewa boys
t a return match, and the Ewa boys
accepted. They set the date for the
evening of October 12, and planned to
wfcllop the visitors by the aid of the
llsht from the silvery moon and Ma
noa's famous arc light.

Rulings In States.

cases as those of big grain elevators,

use by the citizens of the surround
